Liu Qian did not take over the beautifully made, soft and delicious food as usual, but raised her little face and said: "Master, I can eat military food like you and other soldiers."
Chen Cheng shook his head, stuffed rice balls and cakes into her arms, and said, "Since you have the conditions, you might as well make yourself more comfortable."
"But.........."
"A general needs to know the hard work of the soldiers, but you are not the general leading the troops now, you are just moving with the troops." Chen Cheng looked at Liu Qian, thought for a while, and said: "It's better to improve your riding skills first.
Now, if something happens, I can run faster."
What the hell is extra riding? Liu Qian opened her mouth, decided to skip the question, and asked, "What will happen?"
"Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Of course it would be best if nothing happens, but we cannot relax our vigilance because of this. You must know that imperialism has never given up its desire to destroy itself."
Liu Qian took a bite of the rice ball and said with a smile, "Master is saying strange things again."
"Hey, you think it's weird, that's just because you're too young."
The soldiers brought dinner. Chen Cheng's food was the same as that of the soldiers, except that the portions were larger. He finished the food in a few mouthfuls, then stood up and said to Liu Qian, who was still eating the pastries slowly: "Eat
When you're done, go feed your horse and go to bed early."
After saying that, he lifted the curtain, walked out, and started today's routine patrol of the camp. By the time he finished walking around the camp and returned to the Chinese army's tent, it was completely dark. The camp
Many fires were lit inside and outside, but except for a small number of soldiers keeping watch, no one could be seen in the camp. Except for the occasional neighing from the stables, no sound could be heard.
Qubei was huddled in a tent with several of his subordinates. He peeked out through the cracks in the curtain and saw a fierce and fierce atmosphere. There seemed to be murderous aura permeating the military camp, which made him secretly frightened. When he looked carefully, he could see where the murderous aura was.
?But the rising fog enveloped the military camp, making it difficult to see things three feet away.
While peeking, he pricked up his ears and listened to the sounds outside. After a long time, he returned to the bed in Qubei. The bed was very soft and he didn't feel uncomfortable lying on it. This was worse than the tent he usually stayed in in Bei.
, but it is much better than the accommodation of the herdsmen in the tribe.
Qubei tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep for a while. He did not go south to attack the North with Xubu Guduhou, nor did he participate in the bloody battles between the Xiongnu and the Liangzhou coalition. Before today, he was very
I don’t understand why the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu tribes were defeated at the first sign of defeat? And they were defeated so completely that even the great Chanyu was beheaded?
But after seeing the elite cavalry under Chen Cheng, he realized how powerful the opponent was. The military system of Chen Cheng's department was basically copied from that of the Northern Army.
The soldiers all know what they want to do. Although there are many people, they are like the brain directing the arms. Everything is in order. Qu Bei believes that if Chen Cheng brings not a thousand people, but ten thousand or tens of thousands, the same will happen.
It would be like what he saw, without any clutter.
This is the real army, just like the Northern Army I saw in Luoyang. Compared with such an army, the Huns' tribal soldiers are just a bunch of ragtag. If the gap in equipment is also taken into account, and such an enemy
In a head-on battle, at least three times the number of troops is needed to win.
Worrying about the future, Qubei thought about it for a long time on his bed. It wasn't until midnight that he fell asleep.
The next morning, he suddenly woke up from his sleep and heard people outside neighing with their horses. It was very lively. Qubei jumped up from the bed and ran out to see that Chen Chengjun was already packing tents and other items in preparation for the march.
His face turned slightly red and he found Chen Cheng who had put away his things and was teaching Liu Qian how to read by the fire.
"Chen Shijun, I will go to Master Huchuquan first so that I can bring him to see you."
Chen Cheng handed the branch to Liu Qian, then raised his head and said humbly: "Envoy, please help yourself."
Qubei bowed to Chen Cheng and then retreated. After finding his horse, he mounted it and ran quickly to the east. He was young and strong now, and he did not hesitate to use his horse power. He ran a hundred miles in half a day.
He rushed to the Huchuquan Army.
After a long journey, he rushed to the center of the army. He jumped off his horse and knelt on the ground, saying, "Sir, I'm back!"
Huchuquan also looked like a typical northern barbarian, with a big round face and bow legs formed after riding for a long time. He was about the same age as Qubei, so he immediately asked: "Has Chen Cheng already brought troops here?"
Qubei raised his head and said: "Chen Shijun said he would wait for you to meet me thirty or forty miles away from here."
"Chen Shijun?" Hu Chuquan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have you seen Chen Cheng with your own eyes?"
Qubei said: "The villain has indeed seen the flying general with his own eyes."
"Huh, what flying general? It's just what those ignorant and incompetent people say casually, how can we take it seriously?" Hu Chuquan's eyes flashed, "Now the man named Chen is in front of me with a small number of troops.
This is a great opportunity given to us Huns by God, how can we miss it?"
Qubei's heart skipped a beat, he stepped forward and grabbed the reins of Huchuquan's horse, and said anxiously: "Although Chen Shijun only has a thousand cavalry under his command, the equipment is well-equipped and the soldiers are well-trained. Although you have brought five thousand cavalry, you only have 5,000 cavalry."
I'm afraid that we may not be able to defeat them easily. If Chen Shijun returns to Linrong, why won't he send troops to attack Yunzhong? When the war starts, Wuhuan and Dong Zhuo of Bingzhou will also take the opportunity to attack us. We are surrounded by enemies on three sides.
What a situation!”
Hu Chuquan frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Can you just let go of the opportunity given by the Immortal God?"
Qubei said: "Although Chen Shijun was elected as the shepherd of Liangzhou, he does not have many soldiers and horses in the land in his hands. Even if he wants to seize the land from outside, he will not leave Liangzhou Guanzhong and come to seize Yunzhong. Sir,
Now that the imperial court is about to be in chaos, why should we find another enemy for ourselves at this time?"
Hu Chuquan's frown gradually relaxed. He tapped Bei's head with his riding crop and said, "What you said makes sense."
Qubei was overjoyed when he heard this, but unexpectedly Huchuquan said again: "So I have decided that I must kill Chen Cheng in one battle!"
Ignoring his humble persuasion, he straightened up on his horse and shouted: "The enemy is thirty miles to the west. Whoever cuts off Chen Cheng's head, I will reward him with a hundred horses and a thousand sheep!"
And make him a great householder!"
The surrounding Huns cavalry were stunned for a moment, and then their breathing became heavy. Let’s not talk about the big household, one hundred horses, one thousand sheep, what a huge fortune that is!
There are more than 5,000 Xiongnu cavalry, many of whom went south with Yuvluo Huchuquan brothers to help the court wipe out the rebels. They were just driven out of Bingzhou by Dong Zhuo. Most of their previous wealth was lost. I heard that Huchu
If Quan offered such a high reward, wouldn't his morale immediately explode?
However, although the Huns took action on the huge bounty, there were whispers in the team.
"You can't win, right?"
"How is it possible to win the battle? First Shan Yu was defeated by hundreds of thousands of people. How many of us are there?"
Many of this army have never fought against the Liangzhou Army, but half of them know how powerful they are. The Huns' military discipline is not very strict, and those who escaped from the Liangzhou Army a month or two ago have escaped with their lives.
He casually told his companions about Chen Cheng's cruelty.
"He is ten feet tall and has an eight-foot waist", "green face and fangs, like a fierce ghost", "ten Huns are eaten as snacks every day", etc. All of a sudden, the army was filled with all kinds of strange rumors.
Huchuquan looked ugly. He raised his right hand, pointed at the sun in the sky and said loudly: "As a descendant of Luan Di and the younger brother of Shanyu, I order you to set off without any mistakes!"
The noble leaders whipped their whips wildly to make the soldiers under their command stop talking. The cavalry queue divided into several groups and headed west, gradually increasing in speed. The army roared past, leaving behind Qubei and his friends who were messy in the wind.
.
"Go to my lord, should we follow, or..."
Go stomped his feet humbly, gritted his teeth and said: "Follow me, of course I have to, but I want to see how Lord Huchuquan kills Chen Shijun!"
He jumped on the horse, stepped on one stirrup, and shouted: "Follow me!"
Chen Cheng had led his army to the east for forty miles. After arriving at the predetermined location, he asked the soldiers to stop and rest. The location where they stopped was on an east-west road in the Yinshan Mountains. On the left was
There are some flat areas on the right side of the continuous mountains, but there are also many rugged hills.
Chen Cheng silently watched a large red light spot rushing towards the west from the movement, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Should he say that people in this era are too simple, and they just go there when they have the chance? Or should we say that people in this era are more hands-on than others?
There are more people using their brains? It is obviously a matter of two people benefiting from cooperation and two harms from dividing it. There is obviously Yangguan Avenue that can be walked, why does Huchuquan have to walk on the single-plank bridge?
Maybe it's because I don't know enough about this era? Fortunately, Liu Yuan's troops did not appear in the rear. Maybe Liu Yuan was completely unaware of this, or maybe he was hesitant in his heart and was unwilling to let the blame fall.
.In any case, the escape route has not been cut off. Otherwise, Chen Cheng would have no choice but to find a way to escape to Xu Rong.
Of course, for Liu Yuan and Hu Chuquan, the best way is to suddenly send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to block him in Jiuyuan City. In that case, unless he abandons his soldiers and horses and escapes alone, there will be only
Fighting to death is the only way to go.
He reflected for ten seconds, then stood up from the horse and shouted to the left and right: "Blow the trumpet immediately, three long and two short!"
The majestic and desolate horn sounded, repeating in a rhythm of three long and two short. By the time the second horn sounded, the cavalrymen had tightened the bags on their horses' bellies, checked their armor and weapons, and prepared according to their formation.
There was an untidy queue.
Both Lu Fang and Xu Rong have been promoted to other places. Now Chen Cheng's most senior general with the highest military exploits is Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun checked in front of the army on horseback, then galloped to Chen Cheng's side and said loudly: "My lord, soldiers
We are all ready to fight!"
"Very good!" Chen Cheng was very satisfied with the reaction speed of the soldiers, but his face remained calm. He pointed to the wide road ahead and said: "The enemy will come from this direction, and their strength is estimated to be several times ours.
.I command:"
"Li Kan led a hundred cavalry to the hilltop on the left, asked the soldiers to dismount, set up their blankets, and prepare to attack the enemy with bows and crossbows. No matter how the situation on the battlefield changes, no pursuit is allowed."
Li Kan cupped his fists on horseback and said loudly: "No!"
Chen Cheng turned around and said to Liu Qian: "We are going to fight now. You should also go over with General Li. Stay on the mound and don't run around."
Liu Qian squeezed her face tightly, nodded vigorously, and said: "I know!"
She raised the hunting bow in her hand and said, "I can shoot arrows!"
Chen Cheng touched her bun and continued to give the order, "Liang Xing went to hide in the mound behind Li Kan's army, and waited for the Huns to come, and then rushed out with his camera. Zhao Yun led 700 cavalry two miles forward to form an array, waiting for the Huns
When people come, kill them directly from the avenue!"
He looked around on horseback and asked loudly: "Do you understand everything?"
